I thought that was a great post! Added to my favourites to digest fully later, but in the meantime:

"I think the best course of action to take, for anyone is to eat as high quality, local, and in season as possible, with an emphasis on green vegetables, fruits, seeds, nuts and animal proteins."

Where do you live? The reason I ask is that if you choose to go raw, ideally you would eat in season, high quality, local foods primarily. No out of season foods... if the food is "imported", you would want to purchase the foods that were grown in a similar seasonal climate as yours."

I agree completely. I live in London, sadly all I have in my area is concrete. And people keep putting more concrete down. However I have a garden, and may start growing my own. I have also looked up what foods our ancestors ate, and one of them is kale http://www.eattheseasons.co.uk/Archive/kale.htm - this comes out top of the list in Fuhrmans nutritional chart (collards also scores very high but we don't have collards in the UK - so kale is for me). However the UK is quite small and you could walk it in a couple of weeks, so I guess any UK food is OK.

"I like to read and look at the work from about 200 years ago, up through the Preston works, and then into the 70's and 80's. I especially enjoy reading 1800's traditional diets that include the consumption of specific foods based upon gender (one better for man, another better for woman) AND then when food choices were also dependent upon whether a woman was pre-pregnancy (some cultures prepared a woman for pregnancy with emphasis on nutrient dense dietary practices), pregnant and then nursing... fascinating reads."

I think in those days people really knew what they were doing, and the knowledge was passed on by generation. Now we but stuff from supermarkets. frozen, canned, processed, often made in the most artificial ways. It has all been lost. There is a huge difference in the taste of a home grown tomato and a shop bought one.

"I "like" the idea of a nutritarian, and believe this is what I am and strive for..."

I was thinking all through your post, "you ARE a nutritarian!" - I am glad you agree, ha ha! And thanks for the tips.

The other thing that springs to mind is that now we can have somenoe from tropical region A flying to temperate region B and marrying someone with a different skin colour from a completely different region C. They might even marry and havekids in region D. This never happened in ancient times, or throughout our long evolution. What is local food or best food for them - and their kids???
